Support Good image as usual, but I think it should be better to have a label or legend of some sort to indicate which chips are refined and which ones are oxidized. Purpy Pupple (talk) 09:52, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All of them I think are refined, but in air, the metal gets oxidized. Notice the bottom center piece: it is recently broken to depict a fresh surface. Nergaal (talk) 09:55, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see, I must have misread the caption as a list of different entities. Purpy Pupple (talk) 10:11, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
